Log into Cobra

Use this procedure to log into Cobra.

The system administrator sets up user IDs and passwords using EPM Security Administrator or PPM Administrator.

To log into Cobra:

1. Click the Start menu and locate Deltek Cobra X.x.
2. In the Cobra Login dialog box, enter your User ID and Password.
   The default user ID is SYSADMIN and the default password is password.

   Note: Cobra remembers the user ID from your last login and automatically enters that user ID. If this user ID is not the one you wish to use, delete it and enter the proper one.
3. In the Data Source field, select the database connection to use when you log into Cobra.
   The Data Source field is available only in standalone and client/server deployments. By default, this field displays the data source defined in the ideablade.ibconfig file.

   Note: The Windows Authentication checkbox displays when you select a data source that uses Windows Authentication or Mixed Authentication. If you select this checkbox, Cobra proceeds with Windows Authentication without prompting for a username or password.
4. Click Login.
